I need detailed solutionQuestion # .
For the RC cantilever retaining wall shown in the figure below.
Given:
Backfill Soil: =30,=17.5kNm3
Base Sand layer properties: =35,=18kNm3,
Reinforced Concrete: nc=23kNm3,fc'=21MPa,
Required:
1- Calculate the factor of safety against overturning failure and comment on the
results. .
2- Calculate the factor of safety against sliding failure, and comment on the results.
